Spooky.... Booooo
Oh my goodness! You are right we are nearly neighbors. I know that place. My husband and I went their last month in Sacramento State Fair and you may see my photos if you visit my site. Wow maybe we can meet sometimes in San-Francisco and take lots of photos. How is your Halloween's going? I am hoping that you have a scary time with your family and friends.
10/31/2009 2:23:39 PM - 001024320926
Ann you're rocking my world stopping by my site :) too fun to see you've been there!! I'm stopping by to wish you and the kiddos the most fun on Halloween!! Have a spooky great time!!
10/31/2009 5:31:04 AM - 001023411097
Hello dear Ann, happy halloween and have a great week-end. I love you site and we have lost some of the votes on my home page. Be sure to come by and check out the fall pages that on the fall challenge. bj
10/30/2009 5:59:24 PM - 000031826072
Ann - thanks for bopping on by...it always puts a smile on my face to hear from you. I love the Queen song, too (obviously..since I put it on my site!) Your Pumpkin Patch pics are awesome. Looks like the kids had a fabulous time! So cool. Happy Halloween!
10/30/2009 1:29:04 AM - 000074469281
Ann, you are too funny!!
Have a good night!!
10/29/2009 5:17:36 AM - 002066991916
Hi Ann- Thank you for the compliment about my flowers. I took most of those flowers but some of those are from my iphone and I just edited and crop it. By the way I signed to your guest book and I add my place (Walnut Creek CA) on your weather forcast so you will see the weather here in CA. I like your header photos those are so nice! Happy Halloween
10/29/2009 1:47:38 AM - 001024320926
Look at the fun, fun on here. Love the headers!! The kiddos look very happy and ready for the season :) They make the holidays pop!!! Thanks for stopping by today. I am just now getting out on the sites, too tired last night :)
The fall doesn't have the best effect on our area either but I find little gems here and there. I love this time of year. It makes me just smile from ear to ear :)
10/29/2009 12:47:36 AM - 001076975951
Hi Ann, How are things going? Just wanted to let you know i have added some photos from my recent cruise on my travel site. Please feel free to come on by and have a look. Love to read your comments too. Take care.
10/28/2009 3:10:41 PM - 000034909909
Hi!
The images of the kids are great, really capturing the moment, full of expressions! Good job.
Thanks for your comments on viewofthecamera.shutterfly.com
The Colorado (good ol' days) was sure fun, there is so much out there to photograph, one just has to find it. I love the finding it, like a giant puzzle. I would guess most people have some old buildings or junk yards near. Big surprise, junk yards are interesting places to shoot, the people there are happy to let you shoot there, just be really careful!!! can't stress that enough.
Joyce
10/27/2009 10:23:08 PM - 000074469281
Ann, hi again!!! I think thats a super idea to branch out and take photos of other kids besides your own. I did that to a couple of my friends kids - just gave me extra practice. My nieces and nephews were getting bored with me so i said Fine, I'm looking for other kids!!
I just saw you got your party pack!! Woo-hoo, so did I. I saw that one girl is going to get little red notebooks in case people need to make notes, and she also suggested red tissue paper. I was thinking of putting something else in them too. Great bags, huh? If you think of something, let me know....You got a guestmap!! Yeah!!
10/26/2009 3:32:21 PM - 000074469281
Ann, I so love all your fall pictures. Your kids are so adorable. I like the background choice and this site is very fall - very fun! Ours has been so damp this year. Hardly any sunny days - I put up some of the kids playing in leaves from last year.
And i love the Guess Who photos. I like how you have them displayed! Did u take those in the mirror? I am glad u posted your video on here. I just love it - you are such a pro!
So cute Alyssa coached Tyler on how to ride a bike w/o training wheels - Alysssa is a great sister!
Happy FALL!!

I'm getting the hang of the simple path books! LOL!!! They are so much fun and so fast! Well I mess around so much but it gets me going so I like that! I have soo many books I want to make!

Hi Ann, sorry it's taken me a little bit to stop by, I was getting my desk ready for leaving and then when I came back from New Mexico I have been playing catch up ever since.
I wanted to say thank you for your kind words concerning the passing of my Aunt Katherine, she was a wonderful person. This wonderful shutterfly family has been a blessing.
Thanks for the comments in my site too, it's o fun to have an outlet like the share sites and gallery. Your site is awesome and I love the pictures of your kiddos, especially the black and whites.

I have been bad at visiting sites, I'll have to go see Carm's sunsets. Thanks for the comment on my walk. It is only 2 miles - but it was a huge accomplishment for me; especially knowing I couldn't make 1 lap without having to sit down several times. I'm gonna email u quick!
Oh love the new black to your site!

9/18/2009 10:58:24 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, loved the new book and the idea behind it. Very cool the way the saturation and stamped edges changed the perspective of the book. Love it!!
9/16/2009 5:55:11 AM - 002035648808
I enjoyed visiting your site. It is wonderful. You are a very creative photographer. My baby just started her first year of college. Enjoy these little ones because they grow up tooo fast!
9/15/2009 3:05:56 AM - 000074469281
Thank you so much for adding the pic of you & Rachel to my Sfly Friends page and the close-up of you! Love them. Thanks also for the comments on the sunsets. I went a little nuts with displaying them all over. Thats funny you were just at my site and i changed the headers. I wanted to leave the sunset ones up, but figured since I have the Simple Path book showcasing the sunsets, I'd change the headers. I can't wait to get the Simple Path book. Do u think one day we will be able to post them?
I'm slowly making changes to my site...
I gotta get to bed. Talk to u later and thx for adding pics! Made my night!!
9/14/2009 11:06:33 PM - 000074469281
I also like how you did Alyssa & Tylers first day of school photos above. Your babies are growing up!
9/14/2009 3:27:00 PM - 000074469281
Hi Ann, Thanks for your comment on my Sunset photos. They were so beautiful in person. I used the sunset mode on my camera, I found they looked better than in auto mode!! I can't wait for my Simple Path book on the Sunsets to arrive!
Thanks for your tips on the Simple Path books. It is so cool. Have you made one yet??
Haeve a good day/

9/8/2009 7:55:06 PM - 000093706714
Hey Ann......I saw Toni's comment about your Big Hike book and hadn't seen it previously. Just checked it out and left you some comments.
Thanks for checking out the album I posted for Jonathan. Seriously long overdue but it felt good to 'get r done' and click the 'Submit button. (Which by the way, I did use the Guru 'cash' to do the volume discount plan...great savings!)
I posted another album (Promises Kept) in the gallery and I am going to start working on the project I got from Australia today / tomorrow. I have looked over the pics (very unique) so I am looking forward to getting started.
Started PT today. LOVE the therapist. Great guy and I think he will push me hard. I have just received news that I am probably going to have to go back into surgery for my knee. Not quite what I had been planning for...but I am going to use the time in PT to get strong again.
Ok...I am going to poke around a little and then get busy. I have truly felt some renewed creative energy lately - and it feels SO GOOD!
Can't wait to see the pics you mentioned in the Guru Gallery. Let me know when they are posted.
Hugs
Cheri

Ooooh - look at that creative header! Very cool. Can you believe it's time for school again? I can't! Summer flew by. Sorry to hear about the hard drive problems....hope you get that resolved soon so we can see all the great new pictures. I LOVE Alyssa's new book. Truly fabulous, Ann. Congrats on being featured - very well deserved. Thanks so much for all your kind comments on my latest books and on my site. You rock!

ANN,
BY THE WAY, IS ALYSSA'S BOOK YOU SAID ON GG CENTRAL THAT YOU USED DIGI PAGES AND SOME SHUTTERFLY PAGES? IF SO, YOU TOTALLY PULLED IT OFF! I WANTED TO DO THAT TO START MY 1ST BOOK SO IT WOULD NOT SEEM SO OVERWHELMING BUT I WASN'T SURE HOW IT WOULD LOOK! IN THE GALLERY I HAVE ONLY SEEN PEOPLE USE ALL SHUTTERFLY AND THEN DO THE COVERS DIGI OR DO ALL SHUTTERFLY PAGES EXCEPT LIKE 2 DIGI PAGES! THIS IS THE 1ST COMBO I HAVE SEEN AND I LOVE IT! I AM SO INSPIRED TO WHIP OPEN MY NEW PHOTOSHOP 7 AND ALL THE DIGI FREEBIES I COLLECTED AND PLAY AROUND! I AM DOING THAT THIS WEEK! I HAVE TO WHIP UP A QUICK BOOK BECAUSE MY FRIEND JUST EMAILED ME A FREE 8X8 AND IT EXPIRES TOMORROW! THEN I WILL BE HEAD DEEP IN DIGI! LOL!!! I LEFT YOU SOME COMMENTS ON YOUR BOOK! CONGRATULATIONS!
CAN YOU BELIEVE MY BOOK IS FEATURED THIS WEEK AS WELL! I'M SO EXCITED! WE ARE BOTH FEATURED THIS WEEK TOGETHER! LOL!!! :)
HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING! :)

ANN,
I WANTED TO QUICKLY TELL YOU SOMETHING EXCITING! YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE YOUR 4X4 DISNEY BOOK AND SAID I WANTED TO MAKE ONE THAT SIZE WELL I NEVER GOT A CHANCE! WELL WHEN THEY SAID IT WASN'T AVAILABLE ANYMORE I WAS SO UPSET! AT THAT TIME, I QUICKLY THOUGHT OF AN IDEA! I WANTED TO SEE IF I WENT IN THE GALLERY AND SEARCH BY BOOK SIZE AND CLICKED 4X4 IF I DID THE MAKE ONE LIKE THIS IF IT WOULD WORK AND IT DID! I STARTED SOME BUT NOW SINCE YOU AND JOEY MENTIONED THIS I REALLY NEED TO GET WORKING ON THOSE SIZE! I KNOW IT CHANGED ABOUT A MONTH AGO SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER WE HAVE SO I FORGOT I STARTED THEM UNTIL YOU AND JOEY WERE DISCUSSING IN ON GG CENTRAL! I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY! I GUESS IT SLIPPED MY MIND! I HOPE YOU CAN FIND A BUNCH YOU LIKE IN THE GALLERY AND CLICK THE MAKE ONE LIKE THIS TAB! ONCE YOU HAVE THAT SIZE TO WORK WITH IF YOU WANT TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE FORMAT YOU CAN! YOU CAN EVEN CLICK THAT BUTTON ON YOUR DISNEY ONE AND THEN CHANGE ANY PAGES YOU WANT! I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THAT EXCITING NEWS WITH YOU! HAVE A HAPPY DAY! :)
8/20/2009 2:26:42 AM - 002020640084

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR CAMPING PHOTOS! I HOPE YOU GET YOUR EXTRA STORAGE DEVICE FOR YOUR PHOTOS REAL SOON! I NEED TO LOOK INTO THAT AS WELL! I READ THE INQUIRY ON GG CENTRAL AND ALL THE ADVICE EVERYONE GAVE YOU AND IT GOT ME THINKING ABOUT SOME SORT OF DEVICE AS WELL! I USE TO BE REALLY GOOD ABOUT AS SOON AS I TOOK PICTURES I TOOK THEM WEEKLY TO PUT THEM ON CD WHICH I THOUGHT WAS GREAT UNTIL RECENTLY I PUT SOME IN AND THE KODAK STICKER ON THE CD WAS RUBBING AND IT WAS NOT SHOWING THE PHOTOS! I WAS UPLOADING TO SHUTTERFLY AND TRIED TO DO MY ENTIRE COLLECTION IN MARCH AND APRIL AND IT WAS A HUGE PROJECT! ANYWAYS, ITS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE BACKUP! HOPE YOU HAVE IT REAL SOON! :)

Ann, Your photo books on shutterfly are stunning. I love the teacher book.... but I would edit out the student's last names. As a parent I would not want my child's name and photo out there.
TY for all the beautiful work you share. I love your photos.
Jane

You stated you bought a Mouse Kit for your Disney book. Check out this link http://my4princessesdesigns.blogspot.com/ she has great freebies that are Disney related! I did a Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger page with one of her freebies and it turned out so cute! Can't wait to see what you create!
8/5/2009 12:22:07 PM - 000064383827
Ann,
Sorry I have not been visiting any sites as it has been such a busy summer. Thanks for stopping by and saying hi. I have been working on my Disney book too and I'm just about done. I have the title pages for the 2 parks left and a Character Spot layout I want to do and then I should be done. I love to Digi Scrapbook but it just takes so much time and imagition something I don't have a lot of. I love the Birthday Party!! Fun Fun Fun!
8/4/2009 7:51:25 PM - 002020640084

8/4/2009 2:09:56 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, I love the pictures you added to the Showcase page, great B&W's. I moved them to your slideshow, along with the comments they had already received!! Your B&W's are wonderful. I have another of the B&W's in that slideshow too, one you took at Disneyland I think. I really like it. Sometime when you have a moment just go back and add a picture of yourself to the top slideshow called Shutterpals and you can add as many pictures to your Courtesy of Abbott Family Site slideshow as you want. I love seeing them :)
8/4/2009 4:09:16 AM - 001038348079
Hey there....I can't wait to see your butterfly pictures! Don't keep me/us waiting too long! I kinda felt bad when I had 5-7 buzzing around my butterfly bush this eve. I thought of you and you not having one at home. I wanted to mail you one! Anyway, Can't wait to see it and see the book you are working on with (the mouse). LOL
8/4/2009 1:08:50 AM - 000074469281

8/3/2009 2:26:43 PM - 001063913611
You and your husband really know how to throw a party. What a cake! Wall-e is a real hoot and a half! Your hubby must be an architect or engineer judging by the platform, etc. Your kids are very lucky to have parents that will go to all of this work (fun) for their kids. The photos are incredible. Congrats on great photos, great parties, and great FUN!
8/3/2009 2:21:04 PM - 001063913611
Ann, just reading a few comments I assume that your aunt has passed so first let me say how sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts are with you .

Hi Ann, I figured out the FB Badge thing. Cool!
7/2/2009 9:34:53 PM - 000074469281
Hi Ann, Great site change! Love it. Hey thanks for the kind words on my latest book! So sweet of you! Have a great 4th!

6/26/2009 7:45:54 PM - 001066325224
Ann, It's always fun to stop by and see the latest with your family. Congratulations Tyler, on losing your first tooth! Avery is heading into 2nd grade this fall and we've been waiting since his first tooth got wiggly in April. It's still hanging on... Ann, your site looks amazing as always. Keep in touch.
6/23/2009 1:46:56 AM - 001018611425
wonderful photos, Anne! For a second I thought you had made the background black & white for the tide pool shots because there is so much contrast between the kids bright clothes and the foggy setting.... really neat. I think you must really have a GREAT camera! ;)
6/22/2009 3:38:55 AM - 001038348079
Thanks so much for stopping by the other day and for commenting on my book. Wow, I know what you mean about staying busy with the kids...Sure have to keep them entertained! My Alyssa tries to get me off her back by saying "It's ok Mommy, go take pictures of your flowers" which means..."leave me alone so I can do what I want" hahahaha...Just know if I don't visit much i'm super busy with them and wore out by the time they go to bed!
6/20/2009 6:23:34 AM - 002066991916
WOW! Finally I see and enjoying to view your site! I really like Tyler photos. She is so pretty! It looks that you have a wonderful family. Keep up the good work you have many photos too that you need to explore. Way to go!!!
6/19/2009 7:18:45 PM - 000093706714
Congratulations Tyler! The Luau looked like tons of fun! The shots of Arcata are beautiful and the kids looked like they enjoyed themselves exploring. I see little Trinity sitting in the sand in the background....adorable! Alyssa looks like such a big girl now.....it goes sooooo fast. Sending you good wishes for a fun filled summer!
6/19/2009 3:57:17 AM - 000074469281
Hi Ann, I love the foggy pics on GGC they are incredible. Thats funny my Owl spooked you - I have a few neighbors walk by and do double takes - his head wobbles in the wind. The guy at the store said these are very popular - to keep birds from pooping all over everything and by golly it has worked!! I have to move him every few days or the birds will catch on its not real! Isn't that crazy?? Have a great weekend. Seems summers are so busy.
Talk to u next week. Going to the lakes again and hoping for decent weather!!
Tata... Joey
6/18/2009 5:24:28 PM - 002073432243

6/17/2009 4:54:01 AM - 002055694880
Hi Ann. Hope all is well with you. Beautiful new headers and starfish! How great is that. I bet that was real neat. Gonna look around a bit. Just wanted you to know I was here.
6/16/2009 1:57:04 AM - 000074469281
i just noticed Alyssa and the beautiful flowera. She is a beauty. All your kids are growing too fast.
6/16/2009 1:55:37 AM - 000074469281

6/12/2009 3:20:20 AM - 000074469281
Hey Ann. Nice new changes to your site. Looks great!! I loved your new book! Such a pro you are becoming. Thanks for the comments on my site. I got the idea to compact my recent pictures by seeing it on one of Tiffany's sites. I have been bad at making my rounds again.
Have a great weekend. We are going to lakes. Hope its nice.
later
6/11/2009 2:42:14 PM - 002073432243

Hey there Shutter Pal...Missed you bunches....I hope everyone is well on that end of the computer! I feel like It has been so long since we have talked! I wanted to drop by real fast before going to bed to say hello and I was thinking of you!
6/10/2009 2:50:57 AM - 001023411097
Hi Ann, thank you for adding me as a member to your sharesite. It is an honor to have such a opportunity through shutterfly to share and creating the things we love and share with others. I need to look around. Barb
6/9/2009 12:22:49 PM - 000093706714
Hi Ann........LOVE seeing you in more of the family shots. You and Trinity look very cute together! Sounds like the trip back to Arcata was fun for all.
I had planned to be telling you about the surprise trip I was booking for Rene and I to San Diego, but this past weekend I broke my leg playing softball. Mega ouch! I am having surgery on Thursday and am trying to remain optimistic that we can still get in some fun activities over the summer. I am currently planning cute designs for the cast! hehehehehe
One bummer is that I had to cancel several photo sessions booked for the next few weeks.....I have one still pending that we may attempt depending on my ability to learn how to get around with crutches and one leg! hehehehe
Sending good wishes to you and your family..........
Cheri
6/7/2009 3:03:30 AM - 001023411097
Hi Ann, I just wanted to drop by and visit. I hope you and your family are doing great and had of course a good Memorial Day. We are still enjoying rather cool mornings here in South Texas. I want to look around take in all the photos and comments. bj
6/6/2009 9:42:01 PM - 001024320926
Thanks Ann for the comments on my books :) You are too kind!! They were fun to put together and I love taking pictures of Kyleigh so I always have plenty of pictures :) Love the headers, especially the starfish :) and the fact that you're up there too!! Very cool.
6/5/2009 3:54:41 PM - 002055694880
Hi Ann. Popping in with a quick question. We mothers have to stick together on this. We are kind of in the same boat. Our children are the same ages. Regan has been potty trained since she was about 17 months old. She still wears a diaper at nite. K'Lee never did. She just got up in the middle of the night. So do you have this problem or have any suggestions at this time of how to get this to happen with ease?!?
Have a wonderful weekend.
6/4/2009 1:25:31 PM - 002055694880
Hello Ann. Just poppin in to see what's new! The new thing with me is my book I'm going to miss this.....is FEATURED!! I am so excited and I wanted to tell you thank you for all your lovely comments. 8 year olds are soooo fun!
6/3/2009 2:42:51 PM - 000074469281
Hey Ann, just wanted to thank you for your very kind comment on my neighbors book. I appreciate it much!! Have a super day! Love your new profile pic on FB!
6/2/2009 11:16:44 PM - 001086419651
Hello Abbot Family! I see JoeyT had the same idea :) I am just going around trying to catch up with everyone! Hope all is well... BTW... what did Tyler get from the tooth fairy?? :)
6/2/2009 10:28:01 PM - 000074469281
Hi Ann. Just popping in to say hiiiiii! Hope you are all well. When is school out? Thanks for visiting my site and adding a flower to my Shutterfly Friends page. Beautiful flower! I'll have to tell my brother that you thought he looked like he was getting to sing in the Opera in that bathrobe photo. I keep meaning to change it, but it cracks me up! Have a great evening - i guess its only 3:30 in your neck of the woods. Talk to u soon.
6/2/2009 12:44:30 AM - 002055694880
Thanks so much for coming to my site. K'Lee is about 8 and a half going on 15 and needs an attitude adjustment but is super smart. Regan turned two in january and man she is such a character. I think that our children make us who we are. Watching them grow goes by so quickly. Again you have a beautiful family.
6/2/2009 12:44:29 AM - 002055694880

6/1/2009 2:29:57 PM - 002055694880
I don't think that I ever been here before. I enjoy checking out sites and seeing what other like to take photos of. From time to time I get inspired to start taking photos of certain things. YOu have a cute daughter and it looks like she is growing fast. Tyler loosing a tooth is too cute..Great face :) I think that I am going to do some more looking around. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations to Alyssa! Love all these shots!
5/28/2009 1:35:06 PM - 000074469281
I love the headers of Alyssa - Miss Superstar! I wanted to thank you for your very kind comment on my last book. It was so nice to read what you wrote this morning. Made my day and thank you again for the instructions....it's not perfect but worked out better than I thought.
Have a great day.
5/27/2009 7:03:21 PM - 000031826072
Wow - Alyssa is a little star! How cool is that? And I love the tooth picture of Tyler - classic! Very cool that you met your honey on the same weekend I got married! Hope you had a fabulous "Memorial Day/Meeting Anniversary Weekend." Take care and my congrats to Ms. Superstar!
5/26/2009 8:38:42 PM - 001076975951
Great new pictures Ann. Love the one where Tyler is showing his missing tooth. Great snapshot. I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. And glad to hear the show was a success.
5/26/2009 8:24:20 PM - 001024320926
Wonderful pictures of Alyssa and Congratulations to her!! You must be very proud :)
5/26/2009 5:25:06 PM - 002035364597
Love the HONKjr! images! How fun is that. Alyssa looks so comfortable and confident up there on stage. What a natural. Congratulations to all of you on a successful show :)
5/26/2009 4:53:59 PM - 001086419651
Hello Ann and thank you for your kind words regarding my Legacy book for my parents. Feel free to stop by my site (http://lifeshared.shutterfly.com) anytime. I am always interested in meeting new friends and learning from them :)
5/26/2009 4:20:43 PM - 002070893911
wow! She is getting so big!! great pictures!
5/26/2009 2:24:17 AM - 001018611425
Alyssa looks like a natural on stage! You must be so proud! Photos are great, as usual. :) Thanks for keeping us updated.
5/26/2009 1:09:23 AM - 000074469281
Oh my gosh Ann, what a proud parent moment. I wish they had sound on sharesites so we could hear Alyssa's performance. It looks like she did an INCREDIBLE job. Way to go Alyssa - on her way to being a star. I like the slideshow and film-strip. Cute photo of Tyler's first lost tooth and Trinity's Grin. You and Randy have done a grand job raising your three amazing kids! Love the photos!!
5/23/2009 12:00:46 AM - 001023411097
Hi Ann, I love looking at your Disneyland photos. I want to wish you and your family a Great Memorial Day weekend. Take plenty of photos. I want to look around and I have my kids from Houston coming here for the weekend. They will be out on the lake. I'm cooking now so I will talk later. bj
5/20/2009 4:06:57 AM - 000074469281
Forgot to ask, is your cute Disneyland book in Gallery?? I looked for it and couldn't find. ;(
5/20/2009 4:00:39 AM - 000074469281
Hi there Ann!! Good to hear from you. Idol was pretty exciting. I just don't know who will win. I was a bit surprised Shawn won Dancing - not sure if you watch that. She is good, was just surprised. Don't worry about not being able to visit sharesites - it is tough keeping up. Plus with school coming to an end, Alyssa's program, and a two year old who is into everything. My niece Madeline is the same way. Plus summers get so busy. I really need a laptop - i can't believe sweet Trinity smashed yours. Why is it kids like to pound on the keys! By the way, you should brag about Alyssa's performance. Very emotional i'm sure - can't wait to see more pics.
Later girl - i need to get to bed. i'm so tired.
Joey :)
5/19/2009 8:52:14 PM - 001076975951
Hi Ann Just stopping by to see what's new here and to say Hello. Ann I have some new pictures if you have time to stop by my Gallery site. They are on the Recent Photo page. How is the family? Any special plans for Memorial Day this year? Whatever you do may it be filled with fun and special memories for your and your family. take care.
5/18/2009 6:33:01 PM - 002069955263
I really love your site. Keep up the good work this will be something your family can remember and treasure forever.
5/16/2009 7:33:00 PM - 001054671662
Ann...thanks for the kinds words re: Stephanie & Mike's wedding. You mentioned how each page was constructed so perfectly. I feel like Ann Aspnes takes the credit for that. It's as if she designed those pages especially for me! S & M's book comes closest to what I've been trying to do for the past several years...making a book that 'marries' wedding album & scrapbook. I think this is the direction I will take from now on. Also, re: timeline...that was an idea one of the brides suggested and I have featured it in every book I've designed ever since. BTW...I work at Disneyland, when I'm not shooting weddings, as one of their Photo Pass Photographers.
5/13/2009 8:40:13 PM - 000074469281
Had to come to your site and check out the fonts. I think yours look great. Your whole site is really great - each page draws a person to look at the whole page. I think I need to do some adjusting on mine.
5/12/2009 7:59:37 PM - 001076975951
You have some really wonderful photos on this site and the new school play slideshow is a wonderful addition to the home page. Be well and take care.
5/9/2009 1:42:32 PM - 000093706714
CONGRATULATIONS ALYSSA! You are going to do GREAT! Love the head shot of Alyssa in the egg Ann........too fun!
5/8/2009 10:23:57 PM - 000033709100
You are one talented family, Ann! Love the new pics of Disney and HONKjr. So fun!
5/8/2009 10:08:24 PM - 000074469281
Such cute photos Ann of Honk Jr Musical! I bet Alyssa will do great. Can she sing too? I admire anyone who can sing and act! be sure and give us an update on the show! Go Alyssa Go!
5/8/2009 9:00:28 PM - 001024320926
HAppy Mothers Day
5/8/2009 8:11:38 PM - 001076975951
Hi Ann, Just want to stop in and wish you a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. Hope you have a wonderful weekend with fun and precious moments. What's been happening with you and yours. Keeping busy with the upcoming play? I'm sure you'll have some photos to share with us. Take care and God bless.
5/8/2009 2:56:20 PM - 000074469281
Hey Ann, I know what you mean, it is hard to keep up on the Share Sites. I find a lot of the new sharesites through Lisa's site - she's the social butterfly. Some I have found when they have their site address on their profile. She has a TON! Kind of fascinating - I haven't even seen half. Anyway, have a great Mother's Day. hugs, Joey
5/7/2009 2:01:47 PM - 001023411097
Ann, just dropping by to enjoy your family photos. I love your new book. Cany wait to see pictures of Alyssa in HONK! Enjoy every minute of your little one. I did and now mine are 34 and 36 wow! Now I enjoy my grandbabies. I like the night lights. I have not taken any for a while. Finally got through with my rose book. A Rose Can Say on my site. Have a great day and I want to look around. BJ
5/6/2009 8:41:59 PM - 000093706714
Love the shot of Trinity with the Disney hat..............WAY TOO CUTE! Looking forward to seeing the album. I have lots to work on myself...but the sun is starting to shine (finally) in Michigan. Can't resist being outside! Hope you are all doing well.......Hugs! Cheri
5/6/2009 4:54:58 PM - 000064383827
LOVE the the MICKEY HAT header. That is way to cute and her smile is precious! You got to see the Blue Fairy. We haven't meet that one yet. It's been a really crazy 2 weeks so as a last minute no time to prepare trip my husband booked us at Disney World for the weekend. WOSH!! I have no time to plan. We are leaving in tomorrow at 1130 and will be back on Monday. A quick trip and only T-Shirts my husband said. No time to match outfits. I hope that you have a wonderful Mother's Day. I can't wait to see more of your Disneyland TRIP!!
Thank you for your kind comments on my mother in law's book. She is precious and I can't wait to give it to her next week.
5/5/2009 4:20:40 PM - 001076975951
Ann, I want to thank you for the kind comments on my Christmas/Winter holiday photo book. I'm glad you looked at it and that you liked viewing it too. I hope you are well as is you family. You have a place here that is enjoyable. I'll be back soon. It is always nice exploring and find something new.
5/4/2009 11:20:37 PM - 000074469281
Hey Ann, just saw your FB status update. I'm so sorry about today. Gone but never forgotten as the saying goes - thinking of you!!
5/1/2009 3:04:14 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, Congrats to Alyssa on the up coming musical, we will expect pictures!! Just stopping to say Hi and look around. Love your site as always!!
Have a wonderful day, Lisa :)
5/1/2009 2:24:43 AM - 001023411097
Ann I have added your book to my collection of favorites and also your storytelling. I also love the flowers. Keep it up! Thank you for the visit to my site. BJ
4/30/2009 8:59:13 PM - 002035364597
You are inspiring me to head off to DLand right now! What a wonderful vacation. Love your DLand at night images. Great idea.
4/28/2009 6:26:13 AM - 000093706714
Hi Ann......I am scheduled to return to Michigan tomorrow. I had intended to just quickly drop online and confirm my flights but then found myself needing my S/F buddy fix! hehehehe

4/27/2009 8:30:45 PM - 001076975951
Hi Ann, Glad that you all had a wonderful time in Disneyland. I'm sure even the adults had a great time. I've never been to Disneyland, maybe someday. I look forward to see all the photos you post and your book once it is finished. Ann, let me know when you have some new photos loaded on your site, I'd love to see them. Take care and catch you later.
By the way Great header photos.
4/25/2009 11:40:56 PM - 000074469281
Hey Ann, Just dropping in - trying to make my rounds. I read on Diana's page that you have 400 pics from Disney. Holy cow girl - are you workiing on a book. Take care!
4/24/2009 6:01:33 PM - 001038348079
Thanks for dropping by a bit ago...Thanks for the comment on the bird pictures (luck right now and patience) haha...Oh, and lots of bird feeders..haha...I have learned the past few days also that birds don't like kids yelling "MOM, MOM, What are you doing??" and they don't like cats sitting on my lap either. haha...Your flower pictures are so so pretty!! Can't wait for the next batch of mine to bloom. I'm sure you are waiting on yours also!! I need to come back when I have more time and look at the Disney photos...(or i'm sure the book will be out real soon also) hee hee...LOL
4/23/2009 12:08:05 PM - 001043414385

Hey Ann, Love the flower above and below!! Looking forward to your Disney book!! Thanks for the kind comments on 2 of my latest books. They help distract me and are fun to do. I know, I can't believe how big the kids are getting! My 13 year old nephew is super tall. He got his hair-cut this weekend before the funeral and looks soooooo much better!! We could barely see his eyes before, I kept moving his bangs out of his eyes when I was trying to take his photos. I got Abby's little book this weekend and she loved it. Anyway, take care and see you around.
4/21/2009 12:47:39 PM - 000064383827
Ann,
Glad to see you are back from Disneyland. I can't wait to see all the wonderful photo's. I'm still loading my Disney World photo's and it's been over a month. Been busy doing other things as well so it's an on going process plus I load so many it takes time. Hope you have a great day!
4/18/2009 9:18:18 PM - 001043414385
Love all the new pics, the flowers are beautiful and looks like you guys had fun on the Sat night pics, so so fun!! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

Love all the flower photo's. I'm so ready for spring/summer. Beautiful close ups!! Just making some quick rounds as it's been crazy for the last month. Need to get my Easter pictures upload as well. Hope you are having a great day!!

Hey Ann, I saw your note on FB, and thought I'd just send a message here. Have a super fun trip and take lots of great pictures. Can't wait to see. I think this week has been kind of busy for everyone with Easter and spring breaks. You are never a bad Guru - life just gets in the way! Enjoy your trip! Love your flower photo - mmmm i can almost smell it. Take care!!

Hi Ann, Hope your trip is safe and more fun than you can handle. I know you'll be taking some pictures with that new camera and we can't wait to see them. Not sure when you leave but I wish you an excellent trip!!
Have a wonderful day, Lisa :)
4/5/2009 3:20:42 PM - 001076975951
Just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing? Hope all is well. Everytime I visit your site I love to look at the Spring Is Here photo of the flower. Just beautiful. Those slides at Roseville look like lots of fun. I would love to be a kid again and do that. Have a great Sunday and hope to see you around. Take care.
4/3/2009 10:42:12 PM - 000074469281
Just wanted to drop in and say hi. Hope all is going well on your end. Are you going on vacation soon too? Disneyland??? Take care.

Your kiddos would love San Diego, there is so much to do and see, very family friendly. I just can't say enough good things about it :)
Love the tulip :) Lisa
3/30/2009 6:11:45 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, I was in San Diego this past weekend and wondered if that was near you? It was so amazing there, so beautiful and with so much to see and so. I was truly in love with the place after about 30 seconds :)
Hope the viruses have ran their course and everyone is well.
Lisa
3/28/2009 6:46:28 AM - 000031826072
Thanks for stopping by, Ann. I'm sorry to hear that the cooties have been making the rounds at your house, like at mine. No fun! I'm finally feeling better and hope that your crew is, too. We miss you so get everyone better! I posted a new book (My Bucket List.) Here's wishing you a fab weekend!
3/28/2009 5:31:19 AM - 000093706714
May the cooties be scooting soon from your world! Hang in there...SPRING IS COMING!
I know if for sure.......I SEE tulips blooming right before my eyes! hehehehe
Take care of you.....and give LOTS of mommy hugs! No better medicine.
Cheri
3/26/2009 10:27:18 PM - 000074469281
Hi Ann, sorry its been awhile. I'm bad at making the rounds as of late. I must say your tulip above put a smile on my face and warmed my heart. It's been a tough/scary week. Hope your kids are all better. I like Alyssa's Back in Time day. Looks like Little House On The Prairie! Great thing to teach students about how things were in the 1800's!
3/24/2009 8:03:03 PM - 000064383827
Ann,
Thanks for the comment on my sight! I am the official Photo Nut! Busy busy busy with photo's of course and getting back into the swing of things. I'm so excited for your trip to Disneyland. Maybe one day I'll head out that direction. You'll definitely have to share your photo's when you get back. Congratulations on your good news. Stress free is so much better! Keep watching as I load photo's up at night and then add them to my sharesite during the day. It was a wonderful trip! I can wait to go back in 176 days...but who's counting. Have a great day!
3/24/2009 2:34:19 PM - 001076975951
Hi Ann, Just took a look at your Opera Page. Very nice. I've been to the opera at the MET {Lincoln Center} and really enjoyed myself. So those photos are really nice. Thanks for sharing. I hope your family is well and now that spring is here we can expect better weather and days outside. Take care.
3/24/2009 4:24:57 AM - 001043414385
Hey Ann, hope you are doing well, things are getting more and more exciting with me, so so busy right now, feel like I have not been able to do anything but baseball, check email, and go to bed and PLAN a baby shower, shewwww! Maybe I will get caught up soon, just love the header pics!
3/24/2009 2:28:48 AM - 001024320926
Thanks for stopping by today Ann :) When the little ones are sick it's hard to get much of anything done, been there. You'll be out and about in the gallery and sites full steam soon :) Hope everybody is on the mend and your upcoming trip is a blast :)
Have a good night :) Lisa
3/23/2009 12:51:49 PM - 001061427203
OMG...that slide looks awesome, we used to have something here similiar but they actaully game you these "sleds" to ride down on. Unfortantly due to the insurance cost they shut it down. Word is they may try to get it up and running again. After seeing your pics i really hope they do, it is sooooooo much fun. Thanks for the flash back.

2/28/2009 11:48:05 AM - 000093706714
Love the photo of Alyssa in the top right of the header.......her expression is beautiful. And that Trinity.....well she always cracks me up. Can't wait to see Alyssa's digi-scrap album. I am busy scanning lots of photos myself. REALLY dislike scanning.....so boring...ugh! So wish the digi age would have arrived on the scene sooner! Your site looks great!
2/28/2009 2:47:52 AM - 001076975951
Hi Ann, Love all you have done to your site. Love the B&W slide show. How adorable. By the way love the Christmas card on this home page. Really nice.

Hi Ann, Just wanted to say Congrats on your feature, the book is great!! Thanks for the comments on my site and I'm very happy you love daffodils, me too. I love your headers, your kiddos are adorable :)
Lisa :)
2/19/2009 8:18:23 PM - 000031826072
Hey Ann- Congrats on being featured in the Shutterfly blogs and your self-portrait photobook feature. Way to go! I love the first of the year B & W's - fabulous, as always. Your photography skills continually amaze me - so inspiring. Love the Valentine's Day headers of the kids....perfecto! Sounds like you are finally headed for some better weather out there in CA...good news! Have a great week and talk to you soon here and on FB!
2/15/2009 3:09:06 PM - 001043414385
Just stopping by to say hello, really love the ME2 book and your site as well. Have a great week!
2/15/2009 3:32:16 AM - 000074469281
Hi Ann,
trying to do the site hopping. i have been bad at that lately. Is everyone ok in your home? Seems everyone on the sites has been sick, i have just had bad headaches - so trying to limit comp time; which is hard. You should post your ME2 book! take care, joey
2/14/2009 3:56:58 PM - 001076975951
Hi Ann, Your site is wonderful and love the header. How are you and your family doing? Just wanted to stop by and say "HELLO" and happy Valentine's day.
Enjoy your weekend.
By the way LOVED your scrapbooking project Awesome!!
2/11/2009 7:22:49 PM - 000031826072
Hey Ann - I've not been share site hopping much myself lately, but it was good to see you pop up on mine to say hello. Refi...scary stuff! Hope it's all over soon! I love your new Me Book - very artsy and cosmopolitan and the new profile pic with the hair blowing over your face is awesome.
2/11/2009 7:02:08 PM - 001024320926
Thanks Ann for the heads up on the feature :) what fun :) You, Kelli, Julie and Joey were the first people in shutterfly to inspire and encourage thru your comments on my books and the site. I can't thank you enough :) Lisa :)
2/10/2009 8:38:32 PM - 001061427203
Hi Ann, Just stopping by to see what's new. Your photo book is so cute and creative...Very neat
shannon
2/10/2009 7:29:43 PM - 000074469281
Ann, don't be embarassed by your ME book. It is very creative and artsy. Who would think one would get so many awesome picture by taking them alone? It would be a great gift for hubby. Maybe put one words at the bottom of how he makes you feel. Like secure, loved, happy, joyful etc. It would be a hit. Or words that inspire you, like you are my inspiration, my soulmate, my lover, you believe in me. I love YOU! etc.
2/10/2009 1:43:37 AM - 000074469281
I forgot to say that I got the idea to take a picture of my books by viewing someone's book in the Gallery. She had her picture of a couple of her books on the cover and it looked really cool - so I thought I'd try. I wanted more of an artistic angle, but it wasn't working like i planned. Oh well. Still kind of fun.
2/9/2009 11:20:59 PM - 000074469281
Hey Ann! You are so funny, I was just making changes to my site and saw you left a message. We seem to be on each others trail on Gallery or Sharesites or FB. I have been bad about visiting sharesites. I need to do that. I just saw you did a ME book. I'm so excited to view it. You go girl!!! See u around! Joey :)
2/9/2009 2:18:57 AM - 001088456594
Hi Ann,
I really like the new features and photos on your site. Thanks for keeping me posted.
1/31/2009 4:55:42 PM - 001066325224
Ann, I 'm just checking out all of the new additions to your site. Love the header photos, looks like fun! Thanks for stopping by the Terrapin Times. We had a wonderful time in Disney and I'm sure your kids are looking forward to their trip to Disneyland as well. Love all of the updates!!! ~ Diana
1/30/2009 1:10:31 AM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, wanted to say thanks for the comment on the 4x4 I made. It was really quick and I can see me making more of these for gifts, especially for kids. Like I said on the FB I love your new profile picture, very cool.
Thanks, Lisa :)
1/28/2009 8:02:41 PM - 001061427203
Glad you enjoyed the music. I actually say it on a couple other sites (Joanne & Connie) and thought...hmmm thats pretty cool. I even go to my page while I at work just to listen to the music. When mine is done i head on over to Connies page and listen to hers...LOL! Anyways if you go to Playlist.com you can create your own music player. You just need to add it into a widget when you are done. If you need more just let me know.
Shannon
1/27/2009 11:55:52 PM - 000074469281
Oh my gosh, I just saw your comment on my site and FB. You are too funny. This is something I have done, except I always get the double chins when i hold the camera out - I do better at self-timers then you can set it to take so many at a time. But I have never gotten ones like u did. I may have to try sometime. Did you whip you head around fast to get your hair in front of eyes? So creative. You should do a book - The many faces of ME! And yes, it is FREEZING here. I left my oven on after lunch just to warm my place up a little more. I can't even believe I went out today. Too cold! It's been a long winter. Tomorrow is supposed to be 19 above, it was 19 below when I got up this morning. Insane! I'm sure 40 is a shock to you guys too. When does it start to be in the 70's? Oh well, this cold weather does suck but i guess it could be worse! Keep snapping photos!!
1/27/2009 2:25:07 AM - 000074469281
Hey Ann, I just saw your new profile picture. Its so dramatic and hot! I love the way it was done - did you take it? I love it!
1/26/2009 11:36:42 PM - 000074469281
Hey Ann, your header is so priceless and FUN - i like how you changed things up although i miss Christmas photos - they are hard to change. I also like the profile pic to your sharesite. Such a good photo of your 3 cherubs!! That is soo cool Tanya sent you a message! Great job on spreading the word. Are you still getting kicked off of Gallery? Try restarting if it is still happening. Computers can be such a pain.
1/26/2009 7:08:37 PM - 001061427203
looks like the kids had a great time at the zoo; the header pretty much says it all...very cute. I must comment on your facebook picture, it is a very stunning pictures, I really liked how it was shot. I couldn't see it very large as i only got the thumb print view, but i really liked the shot.
Shannon
1/26/2009 6:58:02 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, I love the new header pictures!! I'll be checking out your photobook in a minute too. I'm working on two photobooks right now, they're a little harder than my previous so it's taking some time. Hope all is well. Lisa :)
1/26/2009 1:57:21 PM - 000049760729
Hi Ann!
Thanks so much for alerting me of the Share the love blog! I never knew these blogs existed. By the way, I love, love your sharesite!
Thanks,
Tanya
1/23/2009 4:12:22 AM - 000064383827
Ann,
Just saw you comment on my sharesite. Your kids are TOO cute!! I love the headers. They are going to LOVE Disneyland! Your going to have such a great time as they are at such a FUN age. The website you can click here about the photopass. I'm very familiar with Disney World but know basically nothing about Disneyland. The photo CD looks like $79.95 for Disneyland which is great because Disney World is $125.00 unless you do the prepay and then it's still $100.00. ttp://www.mousesavers.com/otherdl.html#photopass
You get all your photo's plus any borders you add.(you add the borders after you get back once you load your photopass number onto the Disney Photopass website) I have 1637 photos on 4 CDs from our Adult Only trip. I'm crazy I put multiply borders on every picture because I never know which one I will want to use in the book and once you order the CD you can't go back and add them later.
I can't wait to see the pictures and your book from your trip in April. I had to get our adult trip book finished so I could start another one when we return in March. If you have any more questions just let me know.
P.S. You commented on my Toy Story Mania Digi page. Believe it or not the background and the patch on the left side page is from the back of one of the cast members. I asked her to turn around so I could take a picture of your uniform. I used PSE to cut it out and then the eyedropper to color match the stripes to mirror the stripes on their shirts.
Cynthia
1/20/2009 1:16:17 AM - 001061427203
ANN, Thanks for stopping by. I have been using templates so far, but i have been make many many alterations to those templates. It just gives me a starting point and I can then delete and and different things. I have purchased scrapbook factory software and this is what I have been using.

1/19/2009 1:41:51 PM - 001061427203

Take care and have a great week

1/14/2009 2:32:11 PM - 000074469281

Lisa :)
1/9/2009 5:41:47 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, I noticed on Julie's site you said you took a picture just like hers, I wanted to see. I was right....it looks great! Your pictures always do. Have a nice day.
Snaps away, Lisa :)
1/8/2009 4:50:10 PM - 000093706714
Hi Ann
Love your share site....I haven't gotten around to dabbling in this arena yet but you and Julie have both inspired me. I love all of your family shots....and seeing YOU in some of the images!
Does it take you much time to maintain your site? Our family is spread all over and I do think this would be a fun way to stay in touch. mmmmmmmmmm....still thinking about it...........

Hi Ann, Love your header. It is hard to take down the Christmas pictures - how about making a Christmas/holiday page?? It took me forever to figure out how to change the profile photo to our sites. Yours is so cute. I like seeing more photos of you too! See you around. Joey :) Keep up the great work.
1/7/2009 6:25:19 PM - 000031826072
I've noticed that you don't have you much on your site, so I thought it was awesome to see you up there for a change!!!!!
1/7/2009 1:58:11 AM - 000031826072
It's hard to get rid of the Christmas stuff....I hate to see it go, but you're right...what a great opportunity to force more picture taking!!!! Love the new headers with you and the kids (does remind me of someones I know....fabulous idea!) lol
1/6/2009 3:41:42 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, I love all your Christmas pictures, so festive and fun. I'm already missing the holidays. Hope the new year is being good to you. Have a great day.
Snaps Away, Lisa :)

Hi Ann! Thanks for the comment on my Christmas book - you are so kind and so on top of things. I think it's funny how we seem to be on top of each other in the Gallery and or Blogs. I was commenting on Henry's article and just as I pressed submit, you beat me with yours! Too funny! Thanks for the compliment on my sweater. I think you mean the one at the beginning of the book? I have had it for years - it is so warm! I love your site profile picture. You have a beautiful family. All my best in 2009.
1/1/2009 10:21:20 PM - 001066325224
Happy New Year, Ann! It looks like your family had a great Christmas, we did as well. We have had family visiting since Dec 23 and I haven't had much computer time. Your site looks great as always. So much fun! Best Wishes in 2009!

Hey Ann, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family!! I'm making my rounds visiting sites - seems I have neglected some. Your Christmas photos look wonderful - what great memories. Seems like everyone got a Wii. My nephew and niece got one too. They are so much fun. Have a great year in 2009 - looking forward to more of your projects. Glad we got to know each other a little through the Shutterfly world!!
12/31/2008 6:12:52 PM - 000031826072
Hi Ann - Just another quick stop to wish you a Happy New Year! Keep on having fun with the wii!
12/31/2008 1:35:35 PM - 001061427203
Ann, thank you for commenting on my photobook, they are so much fun to do. I have dove head first into this digital scrapbooking stuff, I have added a page to my site to show off a few pages as i go and ask for help, there is so much you can do with the scrapbooking. Have a great new years

Hey Ann,
Got you message how fun to sit in PJs all day for Christmas. We did about the same thing. If felt good to be totally lazy and relaxed for the day. I know what you mean about getting the itch for Disney. We have 260 days to go...ugh! If you need help with any planning let me know. I loaded the photos from our Portrait Session at the Grand Floridian and also from EPCOT. You'll notice duplicate photos but with different backgrounds. I wanted to load a few different onces so when I'm putting my book together I have some options. Hope you have a great NEW YEAR!!
Cynthia
12/30/2008 5:44:38 AM - 000031826072
Your Christmas day sounds fun - I love the "stay in your pj's and play wii all day" - how cool is that? Jarrett bought a Xbox with his Christmas cash this year and so we've been playing lots of Nascar racing and Mario. I tried to talk him into getting a wii so i could play Guitar Hero, but no luck - he wanted the Xbox instead. It has been so great getting to know you through Shutterfly this year. I hope you and yours have a Happy New Year. -Julie
12/29/2008 4:51:45 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you I've been getting over a recent surgery. I'm doing well and trying to get back into the swing of things.
Love your pictures, the kiddos look like they're having a wonderful Christmas. We had a good Christmas as well, lots of pictures to post but my computer is acting up and I'll have to wait til I get that resolved to post.
Can hardly believe a new year is upon us, it's amazing how fast time flys. I'll be back again to wish everyone a happy new year.
Until then,
Snaps away,
Lisa :)
12/28/2008 9:21:45 PM - 000082378991

12/26/2008 5:26:01 PM - 000093706714
Ann:
Just a quick note to tell you how much I have enjoyed sharing our mutual hobbies in the Shutterfly community. Your encouragement and warmth comes thru in all of your postings and it is fun 'getting to know your family' thru your albums.
I look forward to learning and sharing more in the new year. In the meantime, I am sending you and your family good wishes for a joyous holiday season.
Warm Regards,
Cheri

BTW...Your site looks fabulous! (I have yet to give this a whirl but may try in the next few weeks. May have to come to you for pointers.)
12/24/2008 2:54:50 PM - 000064383827
Ann,
It's just a busy time of year and you have been busy I see. I love the Gingerbread making photos. Tyler looks so thrilled...ha-ha. Too cute. Just wanted to stop by and wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas. I hope your home is filled with family, love, and happiness.
Love Cynthia
12/24/2008 4:31:44 AM - 000031826072
Just popping in one last time before the last minute Christmas craziness to wish you a Merry, Merry Christmas and the very best for you and your beautiful family in '09. It's always a pleasure to see your face pop up on my site and/or in the comments for my photobooks. Have a great holiday...Ho Ho Ho...Blessings, Julie
12/23/2008 4:47:22 PM - 001061427203

Hey Ann! Hope you guys have a Fantastic Christmas and Santa Brings you EVERYTHING you asked for!!!
Love Jan
12/21/2008 10:58:42 PM - 000074469281
Love your Holiday page. How fun Santa came to your neighborhood. What a fun thing for kids to actually see Santa! I think it's too cold in my neck of the woods!! Poor Santa. Can't wait to see your holiday photos. Best wishes. Joey
12/21/2008 7:08:59 PM - 000033709100
Hi Ann,
Beautiful holiday images! I can't believe the end of December is approaching. How did that heppen?
12/17/2008 6:00:57 PM - 000031826072
Hey Ann - sounds like you are in high gear with all that is going on for you right now. I bet the kids are excited about Grandma coming. I thought our weather here was really bad, too, until Joey blew us all away with her big blizzard and -6 degrees currently. Whoa. Anyway, popping in to say Merry Christmas to you and yours! - Julie
12/16/2008 6:07:54 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Thanks for all the comments throughout this year.
Merry Christmas,
Lisa :)
12/13/2008 4:01:18 PM - 000074469281
Me again. I had to laugh when I saw your comment on Kelli's site about your weather. I realize 40 is freezing for you guys but its 19 here and freezing. We are expecting a blizzard tomorrow/tonight and expecting 7-8 inches of snow. Your 'cold' weather doesn't last that long does it? Ours lasts until April sometimes. It is pretty for the first month but gets old FAST!! See you around and stay warm and cozy!
12/13/2008 3:48:44 PM - 000074469281
Hi Ann, I'm trying to make my rounds visiting sites. I love your holiday header. Your kids are so darn cute and I bet they are so excited for Christmas. I hope to stop back soon but you know how it is with this busy time quickly approaching. I can't even believe it. The gingerbread houses are DARLING. Seee you next year if not before. Merry Christmas, Joey
12/11/2008 5:57:30 PM - 000031826072
Hi there, Ann - Just stopping by to thank you for your comments on my book about Lt. Dan and my warm heart (at least some part of me is warm right now....it's colder here in Kansas then it is out your way today!) Love all your fun new Christmas pictures - the gingerbread stuff is too cool. I finally got up our Christmas tree and decorating done last weekend, but haven't even touched the shopping yet....better get on it, huh? Enjoy the season! -Julie
12/7/2008 3:10:15 PM - 000064383827
Ann,
Thank you for your comments on my Disney World photos. I've never been to Disneyland as we live in Alabama and Florida is much closer than California. About the photopass like you I'm not in many pictures although I take 1000s so photopass is great for me. The first trip I didn't do it but have every trip since. I pre-purchase it for 99.95 vs the 125.99 in the park. You get a photopass card you use your entire stay and then we you get home you load the code into the webiste and you have 30 days to review, modify, add borders and character signatures. Once you have modified all you want you place your order and put in your prepurchase code and that's it. You have 30 days from when you upload them to either purchase or they disappear. If you decide not to purchase they you can get a refund within 2 weeks and the instructions is on your pre-paid email. Here is the link: http://www.disneyphotopass.com/previsitcdplan.aspx
I love your christmas headers! You have 3 beautiful children. I hope you have a great holiday!
Cindy
12/5/2008 10:59:56 PM - 000064383827
Ann,
I got your message about my Disney photo's. I have loaded them on my Disney World tab on my sharesite. I'm still loading the animal kingdom photo's but all our in seperate folders on the left hand side under Adult Disney November 2008. I'm also still working on my Disney Photopass photo's adding all the borders, etc. So it will be a few weeks before I can order and load them up as well. I will start working on the book shortly. I'm trying to learn digital scrapping so I have some pages I'm working on already. It was a great trip and we are going back in 284 days but who's counting (Sep 09). We actually took the plunge and joined the Disney Vacation Club so in 2010 we are going to stay at our home resort at Bay Lake Towers at the Contemporary. If you have any questions just let me know. I'm the over planner as my husband says. I have an excel spreadsheet I use to keep track of all our dining and event reservations. I'm always ready 180 days out to make all our reservations. If you don't you won't be able to eat a sit down meal depending on the time of year. When was it again that you are going? I'll be happy to sharing it with you if you like to see if it could work for you too. I know your excited. We've only been back a week and I'm ready to head south again. If anything for warming weather. Have a great day!
12/2/2008 3:02:31 AM - 000074469281
I couldn't believe Minnie and the gift was an actual cake. Oh my gosh, your husband has talent! Trinity is a doll and so many fabulous photos. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I gobbled til I wobbled. I feel a bit behind in the Gallery with the long weekend so trying to ccatch up. See you around.
12/1/2008 7:27:46 PM - 000031826072
Hey Ann - love the Trinity birthday pics! The cake is absoloutely amazing!!!!!!!! Just awesome. Looks like the little Bday girl had a fab time. Good deal. Hope your Thanksgiving was warm and wonderful, too. Now we move on to Christmas.......wow - I already feel way behind!!!!!!! I am so excited to look at your new book - haven't yet - I'm thinking about jumping into digital myself in the new year so you are inspiring me big time!!!!!!!
12/1/2008 2:39:57 PM - 000064383827
WOW! Her cake is amazing!! He should be on Ace of Cakes! We just returned from Disney World and I'm a Disney nut anyways so it was great to see Minnie Mouse again! I hope Trinity had a great birthday and that you also had a great Thanksgiving. We had Dinner with Chip, Dale, Pluto and Mickey! It was great.
11/30/2008 7:25:29 PM - 001066325224
Ann, I love all the pictures from Trinity's birthday. Randy's Minnie Mouse cake is amazing and so is your first digital scrapbook. Way to go, Mom and Dad!!! ~ Diana
11/28/2008 7:54:22 PM - 001069856714
OMG that cake is spectacular! Randy needs to have his own show on the food network! LOL!
11/28/2008 6:20:16 PM - 000033709100
Ann,
That Minnie Mouse cake looks fantastic, and Trinity sure looks cute with her minnie ears. Hope you had a great T'Giving. I ate like a lumberjack myself.
11/27/2008 12:16:48 AM - 001024320926
Happy Thanksgiving Ann and your family!!! What ever you do I hope it's wonderful. Be safe, eat lots of turkey and take a ton of snaps!!

11/25/2008 11:49:20 PM - 001024320926
I've been checking photobooks for inspiration and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your books.
Lisa :)
11/22/2008 2:01:52 AM - 001038348079
TOO COOL! How did you get your photo books so large on the screen??? I LOVE your page!!!!! VERY NEAT!!
11/22/2008 1:29:54 AM - 000031826072
Hi Ann - stopping by to say hello. I just realized that Trinity's birthday is on my 6 month wedding anniversary!!! Woohoo! Just think - you'll have that birthday all celebrated very soon so you can move on to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hope you have a good weekend and that Trinity has an awesome birthday!
11/20/2008 3:24:27 AM - 001099993350
What an amazing site, I am so impressed with how you have put so much together. Thank you for stopping by my site and leaving some wonderful comments.
11/19/2008 8:29:14 PM - 001061427203
Hi
, Just browsing through and "peeking" at all your great photos. It was funny, the first thing I thought when i got to your site was wow she still has Halloween pics up. Seems each year we tend to jump the gun quicker and quicker for Christmas. I had seen someone put up the Christmas background and then went ahead myself and did it, but it is nice to see that not everyone is in a rush:-). Have a great night
Shannon
11/19/2008 12:25:51 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, Thanks for your comment on my postcard photobook, it took some time to build, more writing then my other photobooks. Yes indeed, you will have a nice collection of postcards in no time at all and I hope you do make a photobook, I'll definitely want to see and comment on it.
Have a wonderful day,
Snaps away,
Lisa :)
11/18/2008 7:29:10 PM - 001038348079
After reading you were a big fan of B&W's I was wondering which one YOU would like better! and after seeing your B&W book I decided to do that fall B&W. Then I looked at all the Fall leaves and knew I had to do a color one too! Thanks for checking them both out and taking a vote! (I'll order one of each and let them fight over them when they get big) hahaha Talk to you soon!!
11/17/2008 8:00:48 PM - 001074633118
Thank you so much for commenting on my "brother & sister" book. I had so much fun doing that book and I am having trouble not blowing my cover before Christmas! By the way, I LOVE your three to one book - the Outtakes make a "book" of themselves.
11/16/2008 1:13:44 AM - 000031826072
I had to laugh about your comment on falling out of your chair over my Christmas theme already........I was trying to just move on to Thanksgiving on the site, but I didn't have many Thanksgiving pictures to feature. I know you still have Trinity's birthday to get through.....Jordan and Jarrett were summer babies, so all I have left for the rest of the year is holidays. Hope you have a great weekend!
11/15/2008 9:29:15 PM - 000074469281
Hey Ann,
Just wanted to say thanks for the lovely comments on my 3 latest books. You always know the right thing to say to make me smile. Thank you - it's greatly appreciated.
11/15/2008 12:34:37 AM - 001038348079
Thanks for commenting on my fall photobook! Funny how we think we have SOO many pics then when you go to do a book they seem to get fewer and fewer!! Love your site!! AND ALL YOUR PICS! Have a wonderful night! (Can't wait till the kids go to bed to get back on here and play! #;-)
11/14/2008 3:49:30 PM - 001024320926
Hi Ann, Just checking in, hope all is well for you and yours :) I love all the borders you used for your pictures, too fun. Have great birthday fun with your little one :)

Hi Ann - Just saw your comment on my site. Do you really think the Halloween pics I took are worthy of a book? I just don't think they are that great. Maybe I will whip up a 5x7 book...Now YOU should do a Halloween book. Look at all your fabulous photos in your header and the ones from the pumpkin patch. You have more of a variety! Keep up the fascinating work. joey :)
11/5/2008 6:58:29 PM - 000031826072
HI Ann - Just stopped by to say hello. I love the new header pics - looks like you had an awesome Halloween. Your site looks fabulous, as always. Keep up the inspiring work!

11/3/2008 2:27:05 AM - 000074469281
Wow Ann, fabulous Pumpkin Patch photos. I love them. I so wish I had gone with the kids to the pumpkin patch here - it always gets so hectic. Next year I'm going myself if I can't get any of the kids to go with me. For now I'll enjoy yours and everyone else's!
11/2/2008 6:50:02 PM - 001031312785
Hi Ann stopped by to say hi and check out your cool site. Love all your pictures...

11/1/2008 7:29:00 PM - 000033709100
Ann,
I am loving the header pics! That schoolbus photo is so fun and creative. How was your Halloween? Can't wait to see costume pics. My husband and I sent our mail-in ballots, so we're all set. Whew! This is the most exciting election of my lifetime. Great to see the country so engaged, isn't it?
10/28/2008 5:43:28 PM - 001024320926
I love your Pumpkin pictures. They so fun and festive. I was just site hopping and wanted to say thanks again for your comments on my photobooks. Thanks so much.

PS: I'll be checking out your articles.

10/25/2008 9:26:30 PM - 000074469281
Hi Ann, I am just trying to site hop. Hope all is well on your end. I so love your books you have created. I'm working on a couple for Christmas. I'm doing one for my grandma so i may use the same layouts but just simple white backgrounds and covers, with colored pictures - thinking it might be easier on her eyes. Thanks for your great ideas!! Have a good one. Love your apple pics. Joey
10/25/2008 12:55:14 AM - 000031826072
Congratulations on being featured on the Shutterfly blog for your incredible share site, Ann! Your site is very inspiring and the Apple pix are wonderful. You, Kelli and Lisa have such great apple orchards and pumpkin patches in your areas - just awesome. Your site looks great! Have a good weekend! - Julie

p.s. BROWN EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL!

10/21/2008 2:12:26 PM - 001087896398
Gosh I am glad that we are not the only ones who love apples! Apple juice was the first food Pasha would eat for us (he was living on sweet tea and sugar water in the orphanage so we had to introduce formula gently). Can't get enough apples. YOU got some truly awesome shots. I was just trying to keep Pasha from breaking things in the store, and you grabbed some wonderful photographs. I love the shot of the baskets. As always you are so inspirational! Homeworks shots are too cute : ) I just love the one with his leg hiked on the table...adorable.
10/21/2008 1:49:27 AM - 001024320926
Love, love, love the header pictures!! They're great. Apples are another one of my favorites. Your kiddos are adorable and you take wonderful pictures of them. Love your site and your books.
Lisa :)
10/20/2008 11:42:33 PM - 000074469281
Hey Ann,
Thanks for the nice comment on my site. I LOVE the apple pictures. How great are they. I would love to be around an apple orchard. What a great photo shoot and your pictures are looking awesome with your new camera! Trinity is growing just like my niece and into everything. She's a handful but oh so fun! She likes to tell me 'stop it JoJo' and I didn't even do anything!
Keep up the great work. I MOLT of your Three To One book, I'm working on one for a Chistmas gift.
Thanks for always inspiring.
Joey
10/19/2008 3:13:57 PM - 001022895113
Hi Ann, just taking a minute to poke around a bit. I love the photos from Gunther's, what a fun family tradition! You're Three To One album is simplicity at it's best! I think it's wonderful the way you've let you daughter have her own page on your site, what a perfect idea! Thanks for sharing your share site with me. Have a super day, Jenna.

Hi Ann, I was checking out some of your pictures. I really love the black and white sets. Think I might give that a try for myself. Thanks for the inspiration. Lisa :)

Hi Ann! I'm stopping by to let you know that, like Kelli, I "borrowed" your fabulous "Three To One" design and used it to create a book about my son. Thanks so much for inspiring me! You rock!

Hi Ann,
Just stopping by to say hi and to thank you for being such a wonderful Gallery Guru. You always send me great photo book suggestions and are very active on Gallery and the blog. Such a huge help.

Hi Ann! Thanks for stopping by my site and saying hello and for the congrats and the comments on my sister's book. Sometimes I wished I was an only child, but usually I was glad to have a sister! I'm so glad I found your site. It's wonderful. I love the family calendar idea - I might have to borrow that great idea! The ice cream pictures are mouth watering and your daughter looks like I feel when I eat ice cream! I really like the way you have the whole site organized. Don't be a stranger - stop by and say Hi again soon!
